We know that the best bords are those that reflect the workforce and communities they serve. We particularly welcome applications from people from local black, Asian and minority ethnic communities and people with disabilities, who we know are all under-represented in these important roles.
Non-Executive Directors work as part of the Board of Directors to determine our strategic aims and objectives and in ensuring that the necessary quality, financial and workforce plans are in place so that we can meet our objectives and effectively monitor our performance.To do this, a good working relationship with our Council of Governors is essential and an ability to collaborate whilst recognising the uniquely independent Non-Executive Director role will be crucial.
